Had my 9 yr Twins with and they had never seen one before. I tried to explain what that old ornery smelly thing was capable of and to not get close. Those things can jump and come at you quick. They are very deceiving when it comes to speed.

Saved some of the plants that went to school families, a distant learning project, and community members......and am trying to grow a container garden. Getting the right soil mix and pot size has been ongoing learning process. Keeping up with watering sucks and might have to chalk this one up to never do again.

My take is we had a really good winter with not a lot of snow. Spring nesting and hatching season was also really good to the birds. Lots of unplanted fields last year allowed for more habitat and nesting areas this year. I think its going to be a good year compared to the last few. I am getting a first year rookie GSP ready, really looking forward to fall.
